6 YANG Tools is to develop necessary tooling and libraries to provide Java runtime
7 and support for [YANG modeling language][RFC6020], data structures modeled by YANG and their
8 serialization and deserialization as defined in IETF drafts and standards.
12 * parsing of [YANG sources][RFC6020] and semantic inference of relationship across YANG models as defined in [RFC6020]
13 * representation of YANG-modeled data in Java
14 * **DOM-like APIs** - DOM-like tree model, which uses conceptual meta-model
15 * **Java Bindings** - Concrete data model generated from YANG models
16 * serialization / deserialization of YANG-modeled data driven by YANG models
17 * XML - as defined in [RFC6020]
18 * JSON - as defined in [draft-lhotka-netmod-yang-json-01]
19 * Integration of YANG model parsing into Maven build lifecycle and
20 support for third-party generators processing YANG models.
